church last Monday night was a sue
cess. The proceeds, $22.1O, and ten
loads of wood, were donated to the
poor Of Milan.
The bishop has placed Rev B F Pee
pies in charge Of Trezevant circuit, in
place of Rev. J. II. Witt, whs was
made presiding elder. This change is
much better for Bro. Peoples, as he
has a home here and will not have to
move his family.
While there was very little drunken.
ness on the street Saturday, yet large
quantities ofliquor were sold, mostly
to couatry people. Wallace Lusk sold
four barrels of whiskcy, besides other
liquors. At night the usual mischief
WAS indulgedin, fire. works burned, etc.

the L. q N. may now be claimed as
part of Mian's population. Those Of
tn accommodation train have their
families here and stay here every
night. The freight crews stop over
here, two each, every other night and

was hidden or i'll understood before,
that even the student of Shakespeare is
startled by the, to him, newly dis
covered wealth of meaning. True,
booth has not escaped criticism. and,
until man is made perfect and actors
cease to be human, there will always be
room for criticism: but no critic has a
keener understanding OF this than has
Booth himself. In recent pu blication
he uses this language: "In the main,
tradition to the actor is as true as that
winch the sculptor perceives in Angelo.
the painter in Raphael and the must
can in Beethoven; all of these artists
having sight and sound to guide them. /
/. as an actor, know that could sit 10
front OF the stage and see myself at
work. l would condemn much that
has been Landed, and could correct.
many faults which l feel are mine
and which escape the critics notice.
But cannot see or hear my mistakes as
Can the sculptor, the painter, the writer
and the musician. Tradition, if it be
traced through pure channels and to
the fountain head, leads one as near to
Nature as can be followed by her ser,
Want, Art. Whatever Betterton, Quin,
Barton. Garrick and Cooke gave to
stagecratt, or, as We now term II bust
ness, they received from their predeces-
sors, from Burbsge, and perhaps from
Shakesp( are himself, who though not
distinguished as an actor, well knew
what acting should be; what they in
herited in this way thew bequeathed in
turn to their art and we should not
despise it. Kean knew without seeing
Cooke, who in turn knew. from
Macklin, and so baa to Better
ton, just what to do and how to do it.''
Accepting this Judgment of himself as
correct, it is still indisputable. that only
death or insanity can rob him of his
proud position at the top of his pro-
fession, the barrier which separates
him from his rivals, slight as it may
appear at times, being clearly insur-
mountable. Of Mr.. Booths supporting
company, it can be said that they
average well, and possess meri. which
is plainly discernible even in the dazzl-
ing presence of the star. Last night
the Baldwin was again thronged TO wit
ness the prediction of "Othello," with
Booth as the crafty Iago.-AI,Q.

PITY 'Tis, IT'S True

Pity thay apart must go,
Lillian Russell and Jarbeau,
Birds of charming feather;
Each a foil is 10 the other.
Angry passions they should smother,
Just to be together
Hays best made in sunny weather.
Beauty plump and large and fair,
Beauty which could stand pare,
Leaving many q charm still there,
Beauty with the yellow hair.
Beauty, too, that doesn't care;
Lillian is nice.
Beauty of a darker race,
Hair of jet and leopard's grace,
Beauty with mocking face,
Creature apt, IN any case,
On the stage to set the pace;
Jarbeau's not ice.
Never parting should take place
'Twixt the queen of hearts and ace.
But they'll go.
Comic opera troupes have trouble
OF the sort that can't be fixed.
And they're bound to siZz and bubble
Worse than SeidlitZ powders mixed.
Amt it so?
